Today, while searching for a homemade bagel recipe, I stumbled across an amazing cooking blog, smittenkitchen. The blogger is both a excellent writer and photographer, and I'm tempted to make every recipe listed so far.  Unfortunately, about half the recipes contain ingredients that are not available to us.

Sometimes the only activities to do around here consist of cooking, particularly sweets. I now have a long list of things to occupy my time.

Next up:

peter reinhart's bagels (I hope to make this next week)
miniature soft pretzels 
pita bread (can't buy it here, and I've been having trouble getting mine to form pockets)
crispy chewy chocolate chip cookies (a household standard for us.  Hannah and I are currently searching for the best recipe)
meatball sliders (I'm really excited about this one)
